INFERNO SQUADRON REPORT
CMDR/COL Manitsas -- January 27, 2001


SALUTE


INFERNO SQUADRON NEWS:

--- ORDERS FOR ALL INFERNO PILOTS:

(1) Fly TC-TIE #165 - The Hunt for Zsinj against your fellow Inferno pilots. The winner will be awarded an Iron Star, Bronze Ribbon.

(2) Submit suggestions for a new Inferno Motto. I will announce the winner on February 3.

(3) Will we ever fly in the SSL 2000 Semifinals? I sure hope so! Fly the TIE Free Mission for the SSL 2000 Semifinals as soon as Wolly gets off his @$$ and announces it. I am expecting all pilots to fly the mission. Provide the best hints for getting a high score directly the pilots of Wing X (wingx-announce@egroups.com) and earn a PC!

(4) Add a part of the story in the form of a mission when the Inferno Battle Project Run-on story gets to you. LCM Ace has the file now. Next would be LCM Triji Boliv, LT Bora Yar, COL Jack, and LT Oskar Holtz.

(5) Consider designing a brief mission for either TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, or X-Wing Alliance to be selected for the Jedi Convention 2001 held in Cologne, Germany this Easter. Details available at http://www.tiecorps.org/tac/contest.html

--- CPT CALVIN NUNB UNVIELS THE NEW INFERNO MESSAGE BOARD
Calvin has upgraded the interface of the interim version of the new official Inferno message board. In the future, it will have additional functionality and multiple threads (like the TIE Corps board and most other boards on the 'Net). The URL is:
http://www.emperorshammer.ca/inferno2/holonet/view.php

--- COL JACK AWARDED COMMENDATION OF LOYALTY
Long Serving COL Jack, former Tempest and Thunder Commander, Inferno Flight Three Leader, Naval Corps Task Force Crusader TUC, and Task Force Monitor Commander has been awarded the Commendation of Loyalty on the occassion of the sixth anniversary of the Emperor's Hammer. Perviously awarded members of this order in Inferno include COL Manitsas and CPT Calvin Nunb.

--- COL MANITSAS INTERVIEWED BY LCM KRAX TARNISAR
LCM Krax Tranisar has been researching the history of both the ISD Challenge and ISD Relentless, which once comprised Battlegroup Two. As part of that effort, he has been interviewing me. The interview will be published after it is complete.

--- INFERNO@ISDCHALLENGE.ORG ALIAS UPDATED
The Inferno@isdchallenge.org alias has been updated with all of our current e-mail addresses. This will allow us to send messages to include the entire squadron with a single e-mail address.

--- INFERNO MOTTO CONTEST
The authority to award an ISM for suggesting the winning motto has been denied by the Training Office. Reason for denial: Non-flying competitions within a squadron can no longer be awarded medals. Please continue to send in your suggestions. None of the suggestions so far click with me. There is no chance that Inferno will have a motto that goes along the lines "We will squash you into a messy pulp, you ugly Rebel." Joke mottos are also out. They're funny, but are not what I'm looking for in a motto. A motto that is excessively long is also a no-go. I am looking for a motto that is parsimonious (short), dignified, and preferably (but not necessarily) makes reference to fire in some form. Also, making reference to our primary mission of interdiction would be a nice bonus. Here are the sugesstions so far. Keep them comming!

  • CPT Calvin Nunb:
    Truth be told, I always kind of liked the motto we have right now.

  • LCM Triji Boliv:
    "It's always the Wildcard that steals the win."

  • LT Bora Yar
    "If you're a Rebel, we're your problem."

  • CM Corran Halcyon
    "Beauty is in the Eye of the BeerHolder"
    "The long odds favor the Wildcards"
    "Facing the Wildcards is a gamble"
    I think Boliv has the best one....

  • CM Locke
    anyways I'm also just throwing in my vote for Boliv's, it sounds cool :)

  • CPT Calvin Nunb
    Yeah, I'd have to go with Boliv's as my favorite so far. Though Halcohol's first suggestion comes awfully close ;-P

  • LCM Talon Zetar
    "Our peace comes from your death"
    "Death Machines"
    "We come from the stars to strike you down"

  • Triji Boliv
    "We're sorta like 7-11; we're not always doin business, but we're always open"
    "And shepards we shall be, for thee my lord, for thee. Power hath decended forth from thy hand, our feet my swiftly carry out thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be"
    "We'll start the ass kissing with you"

  • Bora Yar
    The Ass kissing? :P Shouldn't that be ass kicking?

  • Edvard
    "In our flame the galaxy is cleansed"
    "We scorch the void that the galaxy may be purged"
    or some variant of those. If you don't like them, don't blame me - blame my subconscious mind
